Distribution of Gifsy-3 and of variants of ST64B and Gifsy-1 prophages amongst Salmonella enterica Serovar Typhimurium isolates: evidence that combinations of prophages promote clonality. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Salmonella isolates harbour a range of resident prophages which can influence their virulence and ability to compete and survive in their environment. Phage gene profiling of a range of phage types of Salmonella enterica subsp.

Mathematical and Computer Modelling, 1992 Epidemiological testing requires fast, accurate and economical techniques. Phage typing is one such technique. Most of the raw data needed for phage testing must be gathered by lots of manual labor without computer assistance. The data that is collected has a random nature and is typically voluminous enough that it is difficult for humans to spot key ...

Open-source genomic analysis of Shiga-toxin–producing E. coli O104:H4 [PDF]
, 2011 An outbreak caused by Shiga-toxin–producing Escherichia coli O104:H4 occurred in Germany in May and June of 2011, with more than 3000 persons infected. Here, we report a cluster of cases associated with a single family and describe an open-source genomic

Molecular Fingerprinting of Multidrug-Resistant Salmonella enterica Serotype Typhi
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 1998 For epidemiologic investigations, the primary subdivision of Salmonella Typhi is vi-phage typing; 106 Vi-phage types are defined. For multidrug-resistant strains the most common types have been M1 (Pakistan) and E1 (India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and the ...

Comparative genomics of Shiga toxin encoding bacteriophages [PDF]
, 2012 Background Stx bacteriophages are responsible for driving the dissemination of Stx toxin genes (stx) across their bacterial host range. Lysogens carrying Stx phages can cause severe, lifethreatening disease and Stx toxin is an integral virulence factor.
